Content Staging/ Information Dissemination Management (CS/ IDM)
provides warfighters at all levels (strategic, operational and
tactical) with awareness of relevant, accurate information; automated
access to newly discovered or recurring information; and timely,
efficient and assured delivery of information in a usable format.
CS/ IDM is a set of tools and services that has these characteristics
and provides the baseline solution that turns information management
concepts into reality. CS/ IDM’s search and delivery capabilities
are currently being fielded at several combatant commands, forward
components and information producers. These services permit commanders
to adjust information delivery methods and priorities for enhanced
situational awareness, and allow information producers to advertise,
publish and distribute information to the warfighter. They also
enable information users to define and set information needs (profiles)
to facilitate timely information delivery and to search information
databases and retrieve desired products as required. CS/ IDM enhances
the Global Broadcast Service and Secret Internet Protocol Router
Network (SIPRNET) transport capabilities and improves bandwidth
utilization.
As CS/ IDM deployments become more extensive, the complete complement
of its tools and services will be available for use by all SIPRNet
users. CS/ IDM is evolving into an enterprise service available
to all authorized Department of Defense users as a net-centric
service.
